So much for fic procrastination. - Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

and your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold

words of wisdom

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guyWherever a hungry newborn baby cries,Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the airLook for me Mom, I'll be thereWherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand or a decent job or a helpin' handWherever somebody's strugglin' to be free, look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

The highway is alive tonight, but nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goesI'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light, with the Ghost of ol' Tom Joad

Premise: I'm still stuck on that thing. I don't know what to make of it truly. I tried re-watching 'Flashes Before Your Eyes' hoping to find an escape for it to make sense except that I ended up swooning on Desmond and having my ideas even more mixed up and getting Des/Charlie plot bunnies instead, which isn't absolutely bad since I've got another 17 Des fics to go, but doesn't solve the problem. Guess I deserved it because I was trying to put Des and Boone in the same scene but I thought I could make sense of it. I can't for the life of me. If it was crack I could probably end it now, but sadly it's serious. And the thing that bugs me is not that I can't get to write anything. I can, see rest of the entry. Is that one in particular. And it's not even like I can use sex as some device because I mean, I'd find it hot despite any possible circumstances, but it really is too random. Ah, but I'm not giving up on that.

That said, how does Jack/Boone sex pollen sound (even if I don't think I'm too good with porn)? Because I may have had an idea.

And since I must be random with, anyone could beta for me some Jack/Sawyer? I've never tried with them seriously even if I love the pairing (the first fic I read was J/S, nothing to say..) but there was the song challenge at lostfichallenge and I have it (at least took my mind out of that thing of which I said). But I'd love someone else to give it a look first, at least because I didn't understand if I managed not to fall into the Sap world or if I sadly did.

/ends procrastination

So, a week and a half. I feel like all that people in the Blues Brothers first movie screaming 'We want the show'. 31st, where are you? And that'd be pretty much all with Lost for now ;) And, uhm, it's half past midnight. Guess I'll procrastinate in bed or something.. ;)

Jack/Boone sex pollen sounds awesome. I'd majorly look forward to that! I wish I could help you figure out your Desmond and Boone dilemma but I still find myself helpless in writing Desmond and his freaky abilities and the like. But it sounds interesting so I hope you find a way to make it work for you! :)

Oh, and I'd be more than willing to beta for you! I don't consider myself the best beta reader really, but if you'd like I can give it a try! e-mail addy is: luke_n_lorelai@yahoo.com if you want to e-mail it to me. :)

I guess there could be worse dilemmas than figuring out getting Boone and Desmond in the same scene but I understand your frustration. Are you trying to do something pre-island or time travelly? You probably don't need any help but what comes to mind is something to do with hatch extraction. There was above/below ground proximity there. Maybe one of them has a vision of the other.

And Boone is having a busy week, first hanging out with Desmond, then with the sex pollen! Lucky boy!

As for a beta, I imagine you want someone with experience writing Jack/Sawyer. But if you can't find anyone more suitable, I would be happy to look at it. I read them, if not write them.

I wish it was time travel or pre-island.. the problem is that the prompt was 'Ends Justify the Means' and so I went and thought well, since the only good thing that came out of Boone dying was Desmond not dying, why not explore that thing? So the matter is that I've got Desmond angsting on the island over it when he finds out and even though now they're in further instructions!world or something like that I've come to a dead point because I don't know how to justify the prompt and what Boone should say because everything I come up with is or stupid or without sense.. though the hatch extraction is a waaay better idea. If I can't get through this I'll steal it methinks ;)

Doesn't he? ;) at least with the sex pollen I shall ignore all the previous stuff and make him reaally busy.

About the J/S elise_509 volunteered, but since we are here I wanted to ask you a related question ;) since one of the next I have in line for the prompts is Des/Penny and you're probably more of an expert on that pairing that I am would you have a look on it when I get to it? Thanks also for the offer ;)

I hadn't thought about Boone's death indirectly saving Desmond. That's an excellent idea. So does that mean you are dealing with spirit guide Boone and pilot Desmond? If it's in the Further Instructions world, it doesn't have to make a lot of sense. Maybe Boone doesn't say anything big, he shows something to Desmond and maybe he needs Locke's help to interpret it. The idea sounds great. I'm sure it will come together. Yes, Elise would be much better at J/S but I would be happy to beta any Des/Pen stories if you find it necessary.

Yeah I have spirit guide Boone and Locke!Desmond (meaning Boone is dragging him around, not that I merged them because it'd be scary indeed..) and I think I'll go with the whole thing making sense enough for Desmond to stop angsting over things he doesn't have control on and not enough to mess with Darlton's plans ;) hope I do the idea justice. And when I'll get on D/P I'll sure notify then!

GAH! I was just. talking. about. Boone and Jack. And then I see your post and I'm like YAY!!! :)

I'm so excited about the show I can't even stand it. I've been waiting for it for HOW LONG NOW? Like 8 months? And the night it comes back I have to be out of town at a mgmt conference at a fancy resort that has never thought to invest in TIVO. Damnit.
